Awesome, that's why it wasn't allowing the mail.  hehe.  I was trying to use
the old text/relay.can file.  Using ctrl/relay.cfg fixed the issue.  I read the
docs/v310_new.txt file and realized from reading it that the proper and easy
way to adjust the relay file is through mail>edit>allowed relay list.  Thanks a
bunch, Rob!
